www is missing?

[Pamagester]

The past few days my website stopt working, without me making any changes to it. I open a ticket and they notify me its working and to my surprise it is, the only difference is that now I can't get to my website with the regular www subdomain. instead of (for example) http://www.domainname.com is now http://domainname.com has anyone have this change and know how can be changed back?

uhh maybe add the www folder and copy all the files in your public_html folder to your www folder?

 

[Pamagester]

thanks, tho still nothing I get a 404 error. The weirdest thing is that I had working applications that communicated with phps in it and it was working now they can't find the scripts unless I change them to look withouth the www. Anyway I found that the www folder was empty so I added my files and well still nothing. tho I can access with something like mydomain.com/www

 

[tttony]

no, no, no there is no add www folder

try this in your .htaccess, change yoursite by your site

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Thanks, but still no hope, when I use the htaccess command you suggested when I try to enter to mydomain.com in turns it into www.mydomain.com wish throws a 404 error, looking at the website I found the other way around, from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com but it dosen't seem to react like the htaccess doesn't have power over the www.mydomain.com

 

[tttony]

try this, write whatever you want on .htaccess and save and then enter to your page again, if you get "Internal Server Error" mean the .htaccess file its work... what is your web???

 

[Pamagester]

my website is http://www.pamagester.com or was now it is http://pamagester.com I did what you say and it generates the internal server error in the second one but not the first one guess .htaccess is not affecting the first one.

 

[tttony]

try this in .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pamagester.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.pamagester.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Edit:
I see the .htaccess file works, do you have index.php, index.php page??

 

[Pamagester]

done now http://pamagester.com becomes http://www.pamagester.com that is a 404 error?

 

[tttony]

I see the .htaccess file works, do you have index page??

 

[Pamagester]

yes I have an index if I delete the code from the htaccess http://pamagester.com will work as the one with the www used to work. the weird thing here is, where is the www one looking into that doesn't find anything

 

[tttony]

now http://pamagester.com/ works I see your green page under contruction

but http://www.pamagester.com/ doesnt work, show "404 - Not Found"

lol its weird


Edit:

do you have Parked the domain???

 

[Pamagester]

yep really weird, I guess it has something to do with the server move.

 

[tttony]

do you have Parked the domain here x10???

 

[Pamagester]

no the domain is from godaddy.com I gave them the two urls for the nameservers and used as my main domain here, ever since I been able to go in as www.pamagester.com until recently that suddenly people started saying to me their applications weren't working and I found this 404 error.

 

[tttony]

well now I dont have x10 account Im waiting for that but I think that they use cPanel OK, go to cpanel and click on "Parked Domain" write on: "Create a New Parked Domain" www.pamagester.com and click on "Add Domain" then try enter in your site with www:
www.pamagester.com

 

[Pamagester]

Tried it a while ago of I write the www it says it will automatically add it. and without the www it says "You cannot park your main domain!"

 

[tttony]

LOL then contact with godaddy.com to resolve this problem because I did all to resolve but nothing.. its weird... if you resolve this problem contact me because I want to know how resolve it the next time

 

[Pamagester]

Sure, I will, if the misery is ever solved. only 3 suspects; me, x10hosting and goddady.
